''[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=1 Jailbreak]'' is the first webcomic under [[Andrew Hussie]]'s [[Troperiffic]] ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'', originating in September 2006 as a humble [[Interactive Comic]] game run by Hussie and played by friends of his on an early precursor to the current ''MSPA'' forums. It stars an otherwise nondescript man trying to escape a [[Bizarrchitecture|strangely built]] jail, which ''[[Running Gag|isn't]]'' rife with pumpkins.
Line 8:
It was left unfinished for years with Hussie stating he didn't intend to continue it, but he capped off with an ending in September 2011 during the long ''[[Homestuck]]'' pre-end-of-act-5 hiatus. Compared to its successors, it doesn't make any pretense of having a coherent world or story - it exclusively exists for and is fuelled by [[Rule of Funny]]. It was something of an early prototype for the likes of ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'', and it is the origin of many of the [[Running Gag|running]] [[Mythology Gag|mythology gags]] that ''MSPA'' is so famous for.
Just for the sake of posterity, the original forum threads can be found [

{{tropelist}}
* [[Cut Short]]: ''Jailbreak'' was unfinished until September 2011, where the ending was written after at least a five-year hiatus. That's got to be some kind of a record.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: The stump has some sort of properties that immediately drive whoever is near it to suicide, apparently.
* [[Expressive Mask]]: Averted; the Pumpkin Helmet does not change shape to match the face of the character unless it is physically twisted from its frowny face to its smiley face. At one point it gets stuck halfway between the two.
* [[Faceless Protagonist]]: Other than the fact that he is male (and perhaps androsexual), the main character has absolutely no distinguishing features whatsoever.▼
* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]: For no reason at all, elves feature in the story.
▲* [[
* [[Fully-Absorbed Finale]]: The story of ''Jailbreak'' takes place in the ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'' universe, which incidentally explains some of the aspects of what happened in the story.
* [[Fundamentally Funny Fruit]]: What? Why's this listed here? I assure you, [[You Can't Get Ye Flask|there are no pumpkins here]].
Line 28 ⟶ 31:
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Undeniably its sole motivation.
* [[Running Gag]]: Pumpkins, which may or may not be actually there.
* [[Shout-Out/To Shakespeare]]: Attempted by a character, but sadly [
* [[This Is a Drill|This is Drillgorg]]
* [[Toilet Humor]]
